1 October 04 |
The Boreal Forest Network and Manitoba Wildlands call on Manitoba Premier Gary Doer to release the Ontario-Manitoba Hydro Feasibility Study before heading to Toronto to present the study's findings to the Empire Club Thursday, September 30th.The feasibility study is one of the outcomes of the MOU that was signed between Manitoba and Ontario in June 2003, in which the two governments agreed to support studies evaluating the technical, financial, social, and economic aspects of a long-term power supply from Manitoba to Ontario. "News reports that include direct quotes from this Ontario-Manitoba feasibility study, and public comments about various transmission lines, a national east west grid, and various dams are part of the stampede to the Empire Club. Manitobans need a public commitment that this feasibility study, and its terms of reference, will be made public immediately," stated Gaile Whelan Enns, Manitoba Wildlands director.
